Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1997 - 1979: Senior Brother Li Xing

Hearing their words, Fang Yan’s lips curved into a bitter smile. Truth be told, he still felt a lingering fear inside. If it were to happen again, he might not dare to be so reckless. Fortunately, nothing happened; otherwise, if he died, what would happen to the task given by his main body? That’s something concerning the entire Earth!

"Boss, I suddenly thought of a question. We survived, but what about the others? Did they make it..." Qin Kun suddenly thought of this problem and asked. With such a terrifying storm, even Fang Yan almost died. The others are likely not so lucky. He really wanted to know what happened to the others.

"Yeah, Boss, what about the others? Have you checked on them?" Wu Shan also came to his senses and asked hastily. He, too, didn’t want any harm to come to their sect brothers.

"I haven’t gone to check yet, but even if I did, it wouldn’t help. Such a terrifying storm, alive or dead, no one can change it. Instead of wasting time, we might as well quickly explore this area and then regroup with others."

Upon hearing the two speak like this, Fang Yan replied indifferently. In fact, he had no intention of rescuing anyone. One less person dying in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm would make the future battles between humans and immortals easier, so he wouldn’t waste time on such rescues. Exploring here was more practical.

"True, let’s investigate the situation first," they said.

"Alas, if they couldn’t escape, then they are dead, and checking won’t help," they added.

Qin Kun and Wu Shan, upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, also found them reasonable and nodded in agreement. With such a terrifying storm, there’s no hope if not avoided; it wasn’t necessary to check on the others. Instead, going exploring with the Boss might yield other gains.

They really didn’t think of anything else because, at the moment, they didn’t know Fang Yan’s real identity and simply treated him as their real Boss, that’s all.

Fang Yan nodded, pondering briefly before saying to them, "This place is so desolate and there’s not much around. You two go stay in the Space Ring first. I’ll explore quickly, and if there’s anything special, I’ll bring you out. This way, we can move faster."

"Sure, Boss!"

"Alright," they agreed.

Having heard Fang Yan’s arrangement, Qin Kun and Wu Shan didn’t object. They knew Fang Yan’s prowess; his speed was beyond ordinary human comprehension. Without them as a burden, he could indeed explore the area more quickly. They immediately agreed, plus, both intended to enter the Space Ring to thank the Redflame Dragon Wolf Beast properly, so Fang Yan’s decision suited their wishes.

With a wave of his hand, Fang Yan brought them into the Space Ring. Then, his figure shifted and vanished on the spot, moving at thousand miles in one step. Such speed was something no one could fathom. Additionally, his Divine Sense could cover a thousand-mile radius, making his exploration extremely efficient.

After searching for a full six to seven thousand miles, Fang Yan suddenly detected a human presence within his Divine Sense, and a living one at that. This instantly piqued his interest, and without hesitation, he appeared before this living person.

This person was severely injured, almost at death’s door. Fang Yan didn’t think too much and intended to save this person to inquire about the Divine Origin Continent. However, what Fang Yan didn’t expect was that when he was healing this person, he sensed the aura of the Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art!

Instantly, he was unsettled. The person before him was cultivating the Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art. What did this mean? It meant this person must be a fellow disciple of his main body. Otherwise, they wouldn’t possibly know this spell. Realizing this, a golden light flashed over him as he focused all his efforts on healing this middle-aged man.

In just over two hours, Fang Yan, sparing no cost, revived the middle-aged man. When the man saw Fang Yan, he was stunned, thinking, "What’s going on? Wasn’t I supposed to die? How did someone save me?"

"Thank you for saving me. Who are you?" The middle-aged man pointed at Fang Yan, smiling as he asked. Regardless of who this young man was, he knew the other had no malice; otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved his life.

"Who am I? I’m the doppelganger of your junior brother, Senior Brother!" Fang Yan looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile. He was now 100% convinced the person before him was Lin Feng’s senior brother. The Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art aura on this man was exceptionally pure, undoubtedly taught by the same master as Lin Feng.

"What! Junior brother’s doppelganger... and you call me senior brother?" The middle-aged man was struck dumb, unable to comprehend what Fang Yan meant. This was simply baffling; he already found the notion of a junior brother strange, let alone the appearance of a doppelganger. It left him even more confused, unable to grasp the situation.

Seeing the middle-aged man speak like this, Fang Yan smiled and then explained to him, "You cultivate the Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art, right?"

The middle-aged man was stunned by Fang Yan’s words and replied, "Yes, how do you know about the Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art?"

Now, it was the middle-aged man’s turn to be even more confused. He thought, "This Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art is the spell I practice, but how does the other know? Did he find out while healing me just now?" But that didn’t make sense either; he was unconscious from his injuries, and even if someone tried to investigate, they couldn’t possibly understand the nature of the spell.

"Not only do I know you practice the Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art, but I also know your master is an old man clothed in white, and you do not know his name. Most importantly, I know he possesses a ring engraved with 1911. How about it, have I said anything wrong?" Fang Yan looked at the middle-aged man, still smiling as he spoke.

At this point, the middle-aged man could no longer keep his composure. Everything Fang Yan said was accurate. Long ago, when his master taught him the Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art, it unfolded just like this. He had been curious about that black ring. How did this young man before him know all this? What’s going on here, could it be that this young man is truly the doppelganger of his junior brother?

With this thought, the middle-aged man widened his eyes, finally believing Fang Yan’s earlier claim. If Fang Yan wasn’t the doppelganger of his junior brother, how could he possibly know everything about his master? And after confirming Fang Yan’s identity, he became even less calm. What is a doppelganger? He had yet to reach that stage, and yet his junior brother had, managing to create one indistinguishable from a normal person. His junior brother’s skills were truly heaven-reaching!

It was at this point that he, once basking in the glory of being heaven’s favored, felt frustrated for the first time. Having traversed various Cultivation Worlds and acquired countless fortuitous encounters, he had reached the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm before the age of forty, an existence defying the heavens. Yet, comparing himself to his junior brother, he was utterly crushed, questioning his own talent in cultivation for the first time...

Seeing the other’s reaction, Fang Yan believed he had confirmed his identity and smilingly said to the middle-aged man, "Allow me to formally introduce myself, Senior Brother. My name here in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm is Fang Yan, and my main body, your junior, is named Lin Feng, currently back on Earth."

Upon saying this, Fang Yan extended his hand in a friendly gesture, and the middle-aged man, snapping back to reality, shook Fang Yan’s hand and said, "Hello, my name is Li Xing!"

Afterward, Li Xing looked at Fang Yan and suddenly remembered something, asking, "Fang Yan, being my junior’s doppelganger, what brings you away from Earth to here?"

"It’s your junior who sent me to the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm on a covert mission. The reason I came to the Divine Origin Continent is that the Holy Soul Sect plans to invade here, plundering cultivation resources and Black Spirit Stones, in cooperation with the Divine Sword Sect, where I’m undercover." Fang Yan replied candidly to Li Xing, showing no reservations. As the main body’s senior brother, there was no chance he would reveal such a secret.

"So that’s what’s happening. I was wondering why you, as a doppelganger, weren’t staying on Earth," Li Xing laughed after listening to Fang Yan, finally understanding the situation, before continuing to ask, "Fang Yan, what is it that your junior wants you to investigate by going undercover here?"

He was quite interested in this. If he knew, he would tell Fang Yan directly, sparing his junior brother unnecessary effort.

"The Eternal Joy Immortal Realm has set its sights on Earth, attempting to enter. Due to my main body’s presence, they’ve been unsuccessful. Your junior believes they won’t abandon efforts to open a Space Passage, so he sent me to investigate how they plan to open it, allowing your junior to prepare adequately on the Earth side." Fang Yan replied, understanding Li Xing’s intention.

After hearing Fang Yan’s explanation, Li Xing finally understood the story’s background. However, being a loose cultivator, he wasn’t fully informed, but he did share what he knew.

"I’m a loose cultivator, wandering across various Cultivation Worlds. I am aware of the Holy Soul Sect’s recent actions. Their ultimate aim in these expeditions seems to be acquiring Black Spirit Stones. It’s not only the Holy Soul Sect; the two other major sects in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, the Nine Nether Sect and Myriad Saints Sect, are also vigorously searching for Black Spirit Stones. Based on what you said, I suspect the Holy Soul Sect plans to use the Black Spirit Stones to construct a special Formation to open a Space Passage. However, what kind of Formation it is, or how it should be arranged, I don’t know."}

Li Xing stated seriously. Back when he learned of this much, he, too, couldn’t figure out why the Holy Soul Sect needed so many Black Spirit Stones. Now, thanks to Fang Yan’s words, he finally guessed the Holy Soul Sect’s aim. Since Fang Yan is Lin Feng’s doppelganger, undercover in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, he indeed must lend a hand in this matter.
